When Gu Shaoting brought Shu Pan back home, they coincidentally met Joy downstairs.

“Mom, are you feeling better now? Please don’t get sick. I got so scared,” Joy, upon seeing Shu Pan, rushed to embrace her. She had been greatly frightened today.

“Sweetie, don’t be scared. Mommy is all better now,” Shu Pan held her daughter and silently vowed to be more careful and look after herself in the future.

“Mom, today, the uncle brought you to the hospital…” Joy began to say. “Mom knows, my love. Let’s go back home,” Shu Pan said and led Joy inside.

Gu Shaoting followed them into the apartment.

“Uncle, are you one of Mommy’s good friends?” Once they were inside, Joy’s innocent voice filled the room.

“Yes, I am, darling,” Gu Shaoting crouched down and replied.

“Oh, then you’re my good friend too,” Joy declared earnestly.

Shu Pan was in the kitchen, and although she hadn’t wanted to let him in earlier, she felt a sense of gratitude since he had helped her. So, she allowed him to stay.

“Shu Pan, when will you tell Joy that I am her dad? It’s really about time. I’m introducing myself as an uncle when I should be her dad,” Gu Shaoting felt that this was becoming urgent. After all, he was Joy’s father.

“We need to give her some time to adapt. We told her a while back that her dad went to work far away,” Shu Pan explained. She believed that one day they would recognize each other, but perhaps it wasn’t the right time just yet. Joy had seen on TV that other kids’ parents lived together, and she wondered why her parents weren’t.

“Okay, we can take it slow for now.” Gu Shaoting agreed.

Suddenly, both of them fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere in the kitchen.

Gu Shaoting walked out of the kitchen.

“Joy, is there anything you’d like? Uncle can buy it for you.” Joy was his precious little girl, and he wanted to pamper her.

“I don’t want anything. I already have everything, and I’m a big girl now. My mommy says I shouldn’t let other uncles buy things for me anymore,” Joy said seriously, lowering her voice to say something in Gu Shaoting’s ear.

“In fact, Uncle Wen has already bought me many toys,” she whispered.

Hearing Joy mention Uncle Wen, Gu Shaoting guessed that this was the refined man who had been frequently seen around Shu Pan. His face instantly turned sour.

In Joy’s heart, Uncle Wen was apparently held in high regard.

Gu Shaoting was taken aback. “Oh, Uncle Wen is pretty awesome. How about we go out to play next time?”

“I’ll go if my mom goes,” Joy said with determination.

“Joy, do you miss your dad?” Gu Shaoting suddenly asked.

“Yes, I do. My dad works far away, ” Joy replied, her mood turning a bit somber. Gu Shaoting quickly embraced her.

When it was time for dinner, Gu Shaoting, feeling a bit shameless, sat at the dining table. Shu Pan reluctantly gave him an extra bowl and chopsticks.

Like someone who hadn’t had a homemade meal in a long time, Gu Shaoting wolfed down his food.

At that moment, Gu Shaoting thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. He wished he could freeze time in this moment.

He gazed at the mother and daughter eating dinner and smiled contentedly..
